What Makes These Deviled Eggs Healthier?
I have had great success growing beets in a small area, and are so rewarding to pull out of the ground and cook with.Â
However, the great thing about beets is that they are available just about all year, and are an abundant source of health properties in everything they are added to!
Making deviled eggs with nutrient rich beets, tahini and Greek yogurt makes for a healthier, prettier deviled egg.

Mediterranean Beet Hummus Deviled Eggs Recipe
Equipment
- Saucepan
- Food processor or blender
- Piping bag with tip
Ingredients
- 6 Eggs
- 1 cup Beets cooked
- 1 tbsp Tahini
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or soft goat cheese
- 2 Garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Sea salt to taste
- Fresh herbs, thyme or fresh dill, or black sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- For perfect hard-boiled eggs, place eggs in a medium saucepan, on medium heat and boil for 6 minutes. Remove the boiled eggs and place in a bowl of ice cold water, until cool. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and cut in half, the long side of each egg. Pop out the yolks, reserving only 3 for the beet mixture, and place into a small bowl. Set the egg white halves onto a small sheet pan for preparation.Â
- For the best results in preparing the beet(s), wrap in 2 paper towels, microwave on medium heat for 5-6 minutes, or until a knife enters the beet easily. Cool. Peel the cooked beet and transfer to a food processor or bowl of a stand mixer and mix until smooth.
- Adding to the beet mixture, 3 of the cooked egg yolks, tahini, yogurt, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt and olive oil. Puree until the mixture is creamy.Â
- Transfer the beet mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, for piping, and pipe the mixture into the center of the cooked egg whites.Â
- Place on a serving platter and garnish with either a sprig of thyme, fresh dill, black sesame seeds or black pepper.

I believe the table... that place that draws people to gather, is the most powerful symbol of togetherness. All that happens before the table is set, the planning, the gathering, the preparing, are all an intricate part of the dance that create the mood of celebration to share with friends and loved ones.
